that is the only person really could think of who would want to hurt emma. the only thing i thought of was, the person who heard her, that saturday morning, that was the first thing i thought about. riley told the police that even though he and emma had broken up, he still cared about her. in fact, they spoke on the phone in the hours before emma was shot. i just told her how much i loved her and, that i was sorry that she didn t want what we had any more. she said she didn t care about the relationship anymore. she said she cared about me, she loved me, and riley said that she he spent the last time crying about it. i was just in the parking lot looking at pictures of us. he woke up to people calling about their condolences. so i was like what do you talking about? did you hear what happens?
law riley was charged with the murder of emma and taken to jail. it was the end of a long, crazy day. the football hero was behind bars. how did it all come to this? he was controlling. but you never thought he was of murder. and in a case already full of surprises, the biggest one was still to come. coming up. a sudden change in riley s story. and it s a stunner. as crazy as it is, and as bizarre as it is, he was hoping that he could come to her rescue. what riley is saying is, i am not a cold blooded killer. with the jury believe? it in the case of first degree murder, did you reach? verdicts when dateline continues. murder, did you reach murder, did you reach verdicts >
it is very farfetched for him to be kidnapped. we did not think twice about it. but if the kidnapping was a joke, what happened the next morning was no laughing matter. emma s friends told police that that saturday she drove herself home. guam as she s approaching her residence, she sees a person dressed all in black. and as she gets closer, he cinches his hood up and puts his sunglasses on. and was texting her friends the play by play. as she gets to her residence, this person comes to the front door and tries to get into the house. beating on the door. she is in a fear. she is in a panic. so she reaches out to the one person that she thinks can help her. which was riley. emma had just broken up with riley, and was angry at him for what she thought was that strange kidnapping the night
someone who you couldn t get the truth out of if you had tried. but on the first day of the trial, riley s defenses attorney had up ended the case with a crazy admission. riley was there, fired the gun, but it was not murder. that was a very stunning thing. for crime reporter, jamie s other field, she saw a jobs drop. what he said was that reilly never intended to kill her. and in fact, assume he would not kill her if he shot through a wall. we will ask you to find mr. gall guilty of reckless homicide. not premeditated murder. in tennessee, that is 2 to 4 years in the penitentiary. that would be a huge difference! all the states went out the window. the defense said that riley was not some crazy killer, just
i didn t want to make with it. i went to my stepdad s house, and i pulled in the driveway. and this van pulled of across from the semi were circle. and these two guys were like walking across the street. the next thing i know, one of them grabs my bag. the other ones around the corner and they just put their hands on my face, and just took me well why would someone do that to you? i generally have no idea. they did ask me they were like you know like, who would you want to talk to for the last time? so i start freaking out, and i said emma. they made me call emma. and i was just crying, screaming. she thought it was a joke, she thought it was a prank call. emma did not by riley s kidnapping story. but she was genuinely terrified when she called him the next day about the man in black. and that s when she facetime called me. she was crying in freaking out.
